Buddhaghosa explains² that the Sutta was preached by Ānanda at Jetavana, because he desired to give an account of the renunciation of the Buddha, similar to that of Sāriputta and others. The Commentary adds³ that at the end of the talk with the Buddha, Bimbisāra asked him to visit Rājagaha as soon as he had attained Enlightenment.
